Y Rolls of paper as they come from'r oll paper making machines are ofconsiderable width and diameter and very heavy. The paper'of these rollsis frequently cut into sheets and strips andforls'atisfactory results itis necessary that theroll be accurately aligned or. adjusted in relationto thecutting' or. slitting machine.

The main objects 'of this invention are to.

provide a support for paper rolls and the facilitates the handling ofthe accurate adjustment or aligning.

Objects relating'to details and economies of construction and operationof my invention will appear from the description to follow. Theinvention is defined and pointed out in the claims. I

. A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention isillustrated'in the accompanying drawing, in which:'

Fig. 1 isa perspective "view of my im proved support, a roll of-paperbeing indicatedin position thereon by dotted lines.

.Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view partially in vertical section on line 2 2of Fig. 1., rolls of paper being indicated thereon by dotted lines.

In the drawing similar, reference charactors refer to similar partsthroughout the several views. v

Referring to the drawing, theembodiment illustrated comprises a pair ofhorizontal spaced bed members 1 and 2 supported by pedestals 3 adjacentthe ends thereof. These bed members. and the pedestals are, in theembodiment illustrated, integral castings and adapted to support a load.The bed members have horizontal groovelike 'ways4 at their ends.

I :Roll supporting bars 5 and '6 are slidably mounted in these ways andare provided the supporting bar 6. v

paper provided with a supporting spindle may be rolled upon thesupporting bars and rolled'along thereon into engagement with the stop 7A 15 is then adjusted in'proper relation to the web of paper indicatedat cutting or slitting machine and the supporting bar 6 may be adjustedto accuratelyalign the web of paper or to position'it so that the web ofpaper is delivered to the cutting machine in the proper relation.

In Fig. 2, a second'roll of paper, as 16, is shown in position on thesupporting members to be advanced to a delivery position when the roll-9 is exhausted.

- The pedestals are of such height that the structure with thesupporting spindles in proper position to engage the supporting bars. Ihave illustrated and described myimwheel I may be delivered from a truckdAn adjusting shaft 12 is rotatably if i the pedestals 3 and hasprovements in an embodiment which I have found very satisfactory. I havenot attempted to illustrate or describe certain disclosure will enablethose skilled in the art to embody or adapt my improvements,

as may be desired. p v

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecureby Letters Patent, is: p

1. A support for paper rolls and the like comprising spaced horizontalbed members provided with supporting pedestals at the ends thereof andhaving groove-like ways in the faces thereof, one of said bedmemadjusting shaft rotatably mounted on one of the pedestals and havingthreaded en 8O modifications or adaptations as I believe this gagementwith said arm, and a hand wheel on said shaft. 7 2. A supportrfor paperrolls and the like comprising spaced horizontal bed members slottedfrollsupporting Ways and provided with stops, a downwardly'projecting armonone of having Ways 111 said bed] members being longitudinally barsslid'able irisaid arting bars disposed through said slot in said bedmember and an adjusting shaft having threaded engagementwith said arm.
